NYC Beekeeping and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine team up for bees
A new urban honey bee sanctuary has been installed in the gardens of The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The Cathedral gardens, which are already home to three peacocks and a family of red-tailed hawks, is now also home to a hive of Apis mellifera, a gentle and mild-tempered species of honey bee.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), honey bees pollinate nearly one-third of all the food we eat. Since 2006, more than three million honey bees in the U.S. have mysteriously died. The USDA states that this die-off threatens nearly $15 billion in agriculture – or 100 commercial crops – that rely on honey bee pollination. According to reports, the number of hives in the United States is at its lowest point in 50 years.
"Many people don't understand how vital the sustainability of the pollinator population is to the environment and the food we eat every day," said The Very Rev. Dr. James A. Kowalski, Dean of the Cathedral. "The Cathedral is well placed to support the ailing bee population and we are glad to help spread their messages and educate New Yorkers on the importance of urban beekeeping."
"Urban areas like New York City are getting back in touch with nature," said Nicole Toutounji, the beekeeper who will maintain the hive. "The Cathedral's urban bee sanctuary is part of a visionary plan to reclaim our relationship with nature, support honey bee populations and contribute to the city's sustainability efforts."
The Divine Hive
In honor of her new home, the queen bee of the hive has been named "The Divine Queen". In the fall, an artisanal honey will be extracted from the hive, which will be known as "Divine Honey." As bees only travel 3-5 miles to collect flower nectar and pollen, the Divine Honey will take on the unique characteristics of the Cathedral's gardens and neighboring flora.

Television coverage is quite possibly one of the worst things for the average amateur. The shots that are broadcast are selected from hundreds throughout a given day. Most of the time you only see the green side chips that are incredibly difficult. What they don't usually show is the simple chips and pitches that actually make professional golfers so good compared to the amateur counterparts. The goal of the professional nearly all the time is to get a chip to react much like a putt. This is why on simple chips they often remove the pin, they want the chip to roll in like a putt. This means they want the golf ball on the putting surface as soon as possible. Often times you only see the extremely difficult lob shots on TV coverage.
Next time you are chipping try playing the shot like you would a putt. Take a short iron, such as an 8 iron, and choke down on the grip several inches. Stand tall to the ball and place the toe of the club behind the ball. When you choke down on the club and stand tall this will make the heel of the club come off the ground stopping fat shots. You can even use your putting grip when trying this. Place most of your weight on the foot closest to the target, your left foot for right handed golfers. This will give you a steeper angle of attack and help you make consistent impact. Once you are set up just make your normal putting stroke. The ball will come out low and roll much like a putt. This shot works wonders when there is a small amount of fringe to carry. Practice using shorter irons, such as a PW, for shorter shots and a 6 iron for longer shots across a green.

Irrgang (Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)
Irrgang (also known as Hergang and Erregang; now known as Martąg; coordinates: 54.1015832, 19.058275 [54° 6′ 5″ N, 19° 3′ 29″ E]; population in 1905, 96; in 2012, 110), is located approximately 5 kilometres (3 miles) south-east of Nowy Staw (Neuteich), 8 km. (5 mi.) north of Malbork (Marienburg), and 41 km. (25 mi.) south-east of the regional capital Gdańsk (Danzig).
Until 1772 Irrgang was part of the Kingdom of Poland. The First Partition of Poland in 1772 resulted in the creation of a new province in 1773, called West Prussia, in which Irrgang was located. Irrgang was situated in the district (Kreis) of Marienburg until the establishment of the Free City of Danzig in 1920. The village came under the control of Nazi Germany during World War II until February 1945, when it was occupied by Soviet forces and returned to Poland. In 2012 Irrgang (now Martąg) was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nowy Staw, within Malbork County, Pomeranian Voivodeship.
Irrgang was settled by Mennonites after 1776. In 1820 there were 85 residents in Irrgang, including 6 Mennonites.
Mennonites in Irrgang were members of the Heubuden Mennonite Church.

Burnley Forum - http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=34818
I like the last comment in particular: "If you were a neutral you could pay just to see him, immense at both ends of the pitch, yet again." How often is that said about a defender?
Thanks to this guy, Allisson and Gomez, I actually find it fun to watch us defend a lot of the time.
"The key isn't the system itself, but how the players adapt on the pitch. It doesn't matter if it's 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, it's the role of the players that counts." Rafa Benitez
Must be since the Hyypia days when we have won so many offside decisions. He has that back line drilled.
20/1 POTY. We would need to be still chasing in the league but if we are when the voting is cast he has a very legit shot
Got him and Alisson both at 33/1 in the summer.
Normally a player can look great on tubes, but one of the things that's encouraging for me is just the amount of youtube videos on him
Really need a gif of the dribble while whistling
Anyone notice his celebration at setting up 2nd ?Like he was waiting for Firmino to thank him for the assist but it never came and he fumed 😂
Any gif of that happening?
Ah I see Its on the goal for 1-2 to us. Cant find a gif annoyingly
The only thing he is missing is goals. Sami contributed 3-5 goals a season for us, and hopefully Virgil can start doing that as well, considering how good he is in the air, he's been rather unlucky for us this season.
I'd like to see him take over the captaincy from Hendo
The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.
MOTM for them (unfortunately), I don't think I've seen a better CB at the Turf
World class player
I think if you asked all premier league strikers who the best centre back currently is in the premier league I think 80% would say Van Dijk. He's a monster.
Best CB in prem
Brilliant. I swear I saw him whistling while controlling the ball and stepping past two of our players .
That big, that fast and that good at positioning makes him an absolute roll-royce of a player.
This moment?
It's interesting if he can ever win Ballon D'Or. I don't remember it given to any defender but Beckenbauer. But I'd cross my fingers for him, he's worth it.
And there were plenty more replies like that. Other clubs have realized just how good he really is. Except Everton of course, because they have a better player in Michael Keane.
The only thing he is missing is goals. Sami contributed 3-5 goals a season for us,
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.
Not in the league he didn't, his best ever PL tally was 4 in 03/04. After that season his goals tally was 2-1-2-1-1 in the league.Virgil's only in the door, am sure the goals will come for him.

The European Green Deal has made the environment and climate change the focus of EU action. Indeed, climate change impacts are already increasing the pressure on states and societies; however, it is not yet clear how the EU can engage on climate security and environmental peacemaking. In this light, and in the run-up to the German EU Council Presidency, adelphi and its partners are organising a roundtable series on "Climate, environment, peace: Priorities for EU external action in the decade ahead".
As the EU revisits and updates its climate adaptation strategy and deals with fast-changing external relations, it is essential that policy-makers consider the risks of cross-border and cascading impacts and the Union's range of influence for mitigating and preparing for them. In this short policy brief, the newly launched CASCADES project sets out the challenge.
Climate change is not only one of the greatest global challenges, but also gives the German Federal Foreign Office the opportunity in the area of foreign policy to support other countries and international organisations in dealing with the impact of climate change and in the transformation towards a climate-neutral economy.
Climate change will shift key coordinates of foreign policy in the coming years and decades. Even now, climate policy is more than just environment policy; it has long since arrived at the centre of foreign policy. The German Foreign Office recently released a report on climate diplomacy recognizing the biggest challenges to security posed by climate change and highlighting fields of action for strengthening international climate diplomacy.
As we step into 2020, time has come to implement the Paris Agreement and raise climate ambition, but the geopolitical tide seems to be against it. The best way forward at this crucial juncture might be to forge a 'climate coalition of the willing' – recognising and streamlining actions of all actors at all levels.
For the first time in the survey's 10-year outlook, the top five global risks in terms of likelihood are all environmental. They are: extreme weather events, failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation, major natural disasters, major biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse, and human-made environmental damage and disasters.
This Research Paper takes stock of what we currently know about the links between climate change, fragility and conflict, summarizing evidence from research and practice over the last 25 years.
Evidence from existing programs shows that climate change adaptation interventions can contribute to peacebuilding, and peacebuilding can have significant adaptation benefits.
If you have even a passing familiarity with the climate and security literature, you undoubtedly have come across the phrase "threat multiplier." The phrase conveys the idea that climate change intersects with other factors to contribute to security problems. It's used as short-hand to avoid the charge of environmental determinism, that climate change somehow on its own causes negative security outcomes.
During its main conference in February, the MSC assembles more than 450 senior decision-makers as well as thought leaders from around the world, including heads of state, ministers, leading personalities of international and non-governmental organizations, high-ranking representatives from business, the media, academia, and civil society to debate pressing issues of international security policy.
Africa in general, and the Sahel in particular, is often identified as the region where climate change is most likely to undermine security and trigger violent conflict. This is a function of the region's history of violent conflict and its perceived vulnerability to climate change.
The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) trust fund committees and sub-committees meet regularly to make consensus-based decisions that ensure CIF funding flows, activities progress, and learning is shared. The next meeting, scheduled to take place on March 24-25, 2020, is now postponed.

Spending your free time plopped in front of the TV or computer? New research shows you may be able to lower your chances of heart disease by using just a small amount of that free time on simple physical activity such as brisk walking, riding a bike or even gardening or housework.
The research found that middle-aged adults who were more active in their leisure time had lower levels of internal indicators of inflammation of the arteries. People with less inflammation tend to have lower risk of heart disease.
Almost half of participants in the study met the American Heart Association's recommendations for cardiovascular health – 2½ hours of moderate to vigorous physical activity a week. However, this rose to 83 percent later in the study as more participants reached retirement and had more leisure time.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is giving surviving first responders and victims of the 9/11 attacks cancer coverage under the Zadroga Health and Compensation Law. NBC's Robert Bazell reports.
Updated at 5:15 p.m. ET: The federal government on Monday added 14 categories of cancer to the list of illnesses linked to the 9/11 terror attacks, which brings added coverage to rescue workers and people living near ground zero on Sept. 11, 2001.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health approved the additions to the list of illnesses covered in the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which were proposed in June. The updated regulations take effect 30 days after the ruling is published in the Federal Register.
See more on this story on NBCNewYork.com
The decision "marks an important step in the effort to provide needed treatment and care to 9/11 responders and survivors," said Dr. John Howard, administrator of the World Trade Center Health Program established by the Zadroga law.
The Zadroga Act — named after NYPD Detective James Zadroga, who died at age 34 after working at ground zero — was signed into law nearly two years ago. Despite the hundreds of sick responders, the act did not cover cancer because of a supposed lack of scientific evidence linking cancer to ground zero toxins.
"We are getting sick in record numbers," said Ray Pfeiffer, a first responder who was diagnosed three years ago with kidney cancer. He said it has been a struggle to pay for expensive medications not fully covered by his insurance.
"It's fantastic news," he said of the expanded list of covered illnesses.
From the first hours of rescue efforts at the World Trade Center site, many feared that the fumes and dust contained chemicals that might cause cancer and other diseases. A new study claims those firemen suffer an increased rate of cancer. NBC's Robert Bazell reports.
About 400 residents and rescue workers have died from cancer since 9/11, according to the New York Post.
With cancer included in the program more victims are likely to seek compensation, which could cause individual awards to be reduced as officials divide up the $2.77 billion fund.
"They're going to add cancers, but are they going to add more money to the fund?" Thomas "T.J." Gilmartin, who suffers from lung disease and sleep apnea, said to the Post. "It's crazy. Every time, we gotta fight. It's two years since Obama signed that bill, and nobody's got 10 cents."
"We fought long and hard to make sure that our 9/11 heroes suffering from cancers obtained from their work at ground zero get the help they deserve," U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles E. Schumer, both of New York, said in a statement. "Today's announcement is a huge step forward that will provide justice and support to so many who are now suffering from cancer and other illnesses. We will press on - with advocates, the community, and our partners in government - to ensure that all those who suffered harm from 9/11 and its aftermath get the access to the program they so desperately need."

In this undated file photo, New York City Police Det. James Zadroga, left, holds his daughter Tylerann. Fifty cancers will be added to the Zadroga Act, which was named after the detective--who died of respiratory failure in Jan. 2006 after working at ground zero.
Last week, the New York City Fire Department added nine names to the 55 already etched on a wall honoring members who have died of illnesses related to ground zero rescue and recovery work, Reuters reported.
Some estimates put the overall death toll from 9/11-related illness at more than 1,000, according to Reuters. At least 20,000 ground zero workers are being treated across the country and 40,000 are being monitored by the World Trade Center Health Program, Reuters reported.
Tuesday marks the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Last fall, the September 11 Memorial at ground zero finally opened in the footprints of the original towers. Since then, more than 4 million people have visited.
Financial, security and design setbacks have delayed the redevelopment of the World Trade Center in the past decade. A recent project audit indicates that overall site redevelopment costs have grown to nearly $15 billion.
One World Trade Center is nearing completion and is expected to open in 2014.

I have kernel which is defined as
Function(__constant uchar *buf, __constant ushort buflen, __constant uint m, __constant uchar *table, __constant uint *search_B2G, __global uint *mts, __global uint *o)
If I call this kernel I get a Segfault from within the libOpenCL. If I modify the kernel definition to
Function(__constant uchar *buf, __constant ushort buflen, __constant uint m, __global uchar *table, __global uint *search, __global uint *mts, __global uint *o)
where I have changed table and search to __global instead of __constant and it works fine now without any seg fault. I checked the max no of __constant kernel args that can be supplied to a kernel on my device is 9, so exceeding the limit is ruled out. Also none of my buffers cross 64K, which is the minimum for a constant buffer. Both table and search are buffers defined using CL_MEM_READ_ONLY. I am not sure why I am getting the seg fault while changing the modifier to any of these 2 args to __constant from __global.
